I am running Turbo linux 6.1
I am using the gnome GUI and using kppp to connect to my isp.

As root I can connect to my isp, brows the net and get my email.
As a normal user kppp will dial my isp but times out saying ppp didnt start. I know the problem is with me as root can start ppp. Is there a file or a group I need to make my user a member of?

Couldnt find find this option in kppp.
I am sure it the solution will be to chamod a file or give the user account rights to a file but I dont know what file.

To starting pppd necessiry be root by default, but you may tray enable stiky bit on pppd (chmod 1555 /sbin/pppd). I hope it help you.
